Powerpuff Girls Jumper

11 January 2015

For Christmas I got a Powerpuff Girls jumper and I have been wearing it literally ever since. Not only because it's such a cute jumper but also because they were my childhood. The other day I found out that they had two seasons of it on Netflix and oh my god, it made my day. And every day since then. If you've been following me for a while, you may be aware of my love for them since I also have a crop top with them on it. Oh my god I just looked for a link for that post and the pictures I done are so embarrassing oh my god.

Jumper- Asos
 (it's on sale woah get it whilst you can for this price!!)
Jeans-Topshop
Necklaces-Urban Outfitters (can't find exact ones)
There's not much I don't love about this jumper, but I really love the colour. Sure you can dress this jumper up or down, but you can d  that with most jumpers. However most jumpers aren't this adorable shade of pink. I don't even care if I come off as the biggest girl girl in the world, I don't enough pink articles of clothing. Although saying that, I brought a sweatshirt a similar colour to this, but that will be shown in a later post when I finally get round to decorating it. Yes, I will be doing DIY on a jumper. Crazy, I know.

I don't know what happened to the corner of my camera. At first I thought it was just my laptop screen but nope.
I got it in a size quite a few sizes up because I wanted to to be baggier rather than fitting properly as I think it's meant to be. Well, not exactly meant to fit properly but I wanted it to be more oversized than it's meant to be. Hope you're all having a good beginning to 2015!

Resolutions

6 January 2015

Don't worry, I'm not going to get all deep here! I'm just going tot ell you some simpler new years resolutions of mine, ones which will hopefully be easy to keep. By posting them on here I feel like I'm more likely to keep them as well, obviously everyone has their more personal resolutions which are harder to keep but  these are just some light hearted ones.

I didn't know what picture to add. I wanted an arty one but cant find one so enjoy this picture from NYE of me laughing at my friend not knowing what to do with her hand.
1) Smile at others more often. I have started to always smile when i make eye contact with people and I want to carry this on for next year. I don't know how to explain why I like doing this so much but in basics terms, it;s just a nice thing to do. People won't always smile back, but you know, it is a nice thing and you might just make someones day, we have no idea whats happening in other peoples lives and maybe they could really do with a smile.

2) Be more on time. I'm not saying I'm going to completely stop being late for things, because I feel like it's in my genes to be late to thins, but god I really am atrocious. I'm using running over an hour and a half late and that needs to stop. Narrow it down to half an hour, maximum.

3) Moisturise. Pretty self explanatory. My hands could be compared to a lizard they're so dry. TO be honest, I just want to take better care of my skin in general but one step to do this is to moisturise.

4) Blog more often. I know this year will be tough and as you can see from resolution number 2, I'm pretty crap at time keeping. So this year with all the revision, my time keeping will go to crap. So my plan is, to be more organised with all of this, I have  a notebook where I will write down ideas and stuff and you guys know the drill and then in my revision breaks I will blog. Or at least try to.

5) Try more teas/healthy drinks. There are so many teas in the world. SO many, I want to try more of the different types. Also, all those health drinks/juices, I want tor try them. In case you cant tell- I want to be more healthy. Not necessarily lose weight, just improve my health.I  also want to exercise more (shocker) and tone up but wow who knows if Ill stick with that one.

Happy new year guys! Six days late but oh well, better late than never!

New Years Day Films

2 January 2015

Hey guys! Man, I've been meaning to change my blog setup this whole holidays and I have done nothing. Anywaay.

So I know on New Years Day (I don't know if that all requires capital letters or not)(woah that's today) wait no it was yesterday. Oh well. Just films in general.


Most people spend the day lazing about on the couch watching films that are on the TV, but I thought why not tell you some films I plan on watching? I don't really mind waiting for the adverts, what does annoy me though is finding a film on and getting excited to watch it, but then you've already missed half and have to wait ages for it to be on the +1 channel or when there is no other channel you can watch it on. Also, I'm not a prepared person. I don't know what films will be on on what channel or what time. So I rely quite heavily on DVDs, or just rely on someone else in my family to find something. I hate scrolling through the channels too trying to find something.

Anyway, here are some films you could watch on your lazy first day of 2015! Or just whenever, films are (usually) always enjoyable. Except I'm probably only going to telly you about films I have on DVD because to include films from Netflix and everywhere else stresses me out because there are so many Although now thinking about it I want to recommend loads. I even want to recommend things I haven't even seen because I think they will be good.

I'm going off topic. Basically here's some films you should consider watching today! Or whenever you want. I don't run your life.

How To Train Your Dragon (number one or two they're both brilliant). This film is my favourite though and wow the way Hiccup grows up over the past two films and everything that happens. It's such a masterpiece. Gosh it deserves all the awards. Heads up though, depending on how attached you are to the film, the second one is kind of heart breaking and me and my friend cried. A lot.

This Is The End. This film is hilarious it's probably one of the rare films I actually laugh out loud to, except don't make the mistake I did and watch it with your parents. It's not that bad, but some scenes are. Also I felt the need to understand some of the jokes because they were quite inappropriate, but they were so funny I just made some horrific snorting sound by trying to contain my laughter.

The 5 Year Engagement. I don't have much to say about this film but it was enjoyable, I plan on watching it later.

Bend It Like Beckham. I've never actually seen this film either, I plan on watching this later as well because I feel like it's rude to have not seen this film.

The Spectacular Now. Oh man this book was brilliant and I love the actor in this film.

Lord OF The Rings. I haven't seen any of these films either, but its on my list to watch, this and Star Trek. But I just can't find the DVDs anywhere at my house but I'm sure my Dad has on them on VD. In case you were wondering.

The Avengers. Man I love this film oh gosh I love Marvel oh gee this film is so great I love it I want to be Captain America. I have a Captain America jumper but there's as stain on it, I have no idea what it is but oh well that doesn't stop me from wearing it.

Men In Black. Not much to say about these either other than you know, every single one of these films is f a b u l o u s.

Gaurdians Of The Galaxy is also pretty great, and The Little Mermaid.

Hope you guys all had a good news years eve and I hope this year is a good one for you all!








Maybelline Brow Satin

26 December 2014

Hey guys! So recently I've began to fill in my eyebrows more because although I have quite dense (is that the right word to use?) eyebrows, like they're not very gappy, the front is kind of a mess. I've never really known what to use and what works best. I really want to try the Benefit brow kit,  but I don't think I could allow myself to spend that much for eyebrows when I could buy the Naked 2 Basics kit for less than that.

I had a phase where I used 'buck' from the naked 1 palette but recently I've been using Maybelline Brow Satin. At first I didn't really use this right, my eyebrows looked okay-ish but very blockish, they didn't look natural, however recently I've gotten the hang of it (I like to think so anyway) and I have been getting a few compliments on my eyebrows to back up this belief.



The 'device', I'm not sure what to call it, it's not really a pencil, has two ends which I would describe but I'm not sure how so I'll just show you.

I begin by using the pencil kind of end first and kind of draw upwards from the bottom of my eyebrows to fill in any gaps, but I don't colour them because then to 'spread out' these lines I use the spongey end and just kind of glide that along my eyebrows to merge what I done with the pencil. Oh my god my explaining is atrocious. The thing has instructions on it, don't worry.

I was so proud of my Christmas nails, not going to lie.
I really like eyebrow thing and it's gotten me quite a few compliments. I have very dark eyebrows in comparison to my hair..kind of. My hair is a variety of colours to be honest. But yeah, I have quite dark eyebrows and I use the shade medium brown and I think it suits me, you can make it darker by layering on the pencil more, or you know, just buy a darker shade. I really like using this though, I never really thought using an eyebrow thing would make much of a difference to me seeing as my eyebrows already are pretty defined? Is that the word? But it really does, when I use it you can hardly tell how gappy the beginning of my brows are! My friend uses a Mac foundation in a really dark shade to fill in her eyebrows which I really like, it looks so natural and flawless! But I don't really want to buy a £20 foundation to only use for my eyebrows. If I buy a Mac foundation I would use it for my face! (Also Im meant to be getting my first ever Mac product for Christmas- their face and body foundation- people say it makes you break out but others love it, feel free to let me know your opinion, please!!) I've gone off topic.

I was going to include a before and after picture, but my eyes look so bizarre in all the pictures, but trust me, this is a good 'un.

Anyway, this eyebrow thing is good, I would recommend it.
I love you guys, thanks for putting up with my absences and I hope you all had a marvelous Christmas!

Ranting

14 December 2014

Hey guy okay catch up time. But firstly, how are you? Sorry for my absence, but I hope you are all doing well and expect some future posts for my hiatus (I hope I'm using this in the right way) is over. For now at least.

Okay, now prepare yourself. I am ranting.  But before I began I have questions for you. Firstly, any good books you recommend? How about makeup? What are peoples opinions of Mac Face and Body foundation, I really want it but my sister said it would make me break out but it looks so beautiful! Also where can I get one of those eyebrow brushes things that people use that look like a mascara wand but it's just an eyebrow brush?
Enjoy the first ever picture I took with my camera ages ago because I feel like you deserve a picture but nothing really relates with this post so why not have my dog looking gorgeous in my blankie.

Where was I? Well, I had some school exams which I had to revise pretty hard for, even though they weren't our 'proper' exams, they're still important. Due to me being crap at time keeping, I couldn't handle blogging and revising very well.


We've been told to revise over Christmas, but that does not fit in with my plan. My plan is to do a revision timetable for when I'm back at school and make lots of posts, then when I go back to school I'll hardcore revise and have some other posts to fall back on when my time keeping goes to poop. This holiday is probably going to the last two weeks I'll be able to relax for a loong time, I don't plan on revising! Unless I find out what I need to retake. Mistake me if I'm wrong, but I find it pretty unfair that we get our results when we go back to school in the first week and if we get two below our target grade we have to retake, which is fine I totally understand that, BUT apparently we have to retake it in our first week back as well. My issue with this being that we will have no time to revise. So we're being  told to revise everything over Christmas and I know I have a lot coming at me when its alevels and university and stuff but I don;t want to revise over Christmas. Simple as that. If I know what I have to retake, I will gladly revise because I want to do well. Yet the fact they're telling us to revise just in case we have to retake really makes me mad. I know that next year will be harder and blah blah and all future years but I would really like to just have these two weeks off then when I go back I plan to work my butt off. I just really want these two weeks to not think about exams and just relax and catch up on sleep and my TV shows and my social life. Just these two weeks, but the fact that we're being told to revise 'just in case' pisses me off so much because why can't tehy just tell us what we have to retake.

It also kind of upsets me. We aren't being congratulated that we finished our mocks, nobody has said well done for working so hard. All they do is complain and say we need to revise more which you know I can handle but I would really appreciate just one teacher saying well done and understanding how much work the majority of us put in. Instead they just talk about how they done afterschool and lunchtime sessions when they didn't have to. Don't get me wrong I am really grateful for that, I am, but we didn't have to attend them either. If I knew they were going to go on about it for ten years I would have rather they didn't to be honest. They helped, but I'm just so sick of hearing how hard they work, I know they do, but why cant they also accept that we worked hard too? I've put all this effort into these bloody mocks and I feel like I haven't done very well (we don't even speak about English oh my god they went so terrible) but I tried. Then if you do bad its because 'you didn't work hard enough, you didn't put enough effort in' but no. I did. If I've done badly it just means  I need to improve my revision technique, not that I didn't work hard enough.

I just hope that this week is more relaxed and we watch Christmas films in school now that the mocks are over I have no effort to learn anything else, but alas, I know fully well we have no relaxing lessons. But on Friday we have this Christmas talent show thing which is enjoyable, and gets us out of lessons. Maybe we will have more chilled out lessons, but I doubt it.

Man I could moan for ages, but I'll stick with the whole exam theme for now.

Actually no I won't, I'm done for now, I'm sleepy.

One more thing though; I'm finally in the Christmas spirit, after ages of not being feeling it I'm almost getting there, now that the stress is over, huzzah! I have gifts to buy and I want to decorate my room Christmassy, I hope I do that soon. I'm going Christmas shopping with my mother tomorrow, so I think Ill buy all the gifts and stuff then and maybe some Christmas decorations.Also, last night I saw family friends I hadn't seen for ages, that was nice. I don't really know what else to add, but yeah, I hope you guys are all good and thank you for staying.
